Summary
Welcome to Paradise is a photographic project that Oswaldo Ruiz (b. Monterey, Mexico 1977) has worked for more than four years, through different enclaves of Latin American cities. From the port of Valparaíso to Puerto Seco in Jalisco, travelling through México City, Monterrey, Santiago, Santo Domingo, and the Bahía de Navidad, the photographer captures in analog, digital and video images the fading signs of modernity or its promises. The book offers the full project (with twice the images of the exhibition) and expands its lines of reading through the texts of philosopher and curator José Luis Barrios, and author Emiliano Monge, who wrote an unpublished story spatially for this work.
